Qaleh Kharabeh

Qaleh Kharabeh is the archaeological site of a 5th-century fort in the Gorgan Plain, in Golestan Province in northeastern Iran. It lies one mile to the south of the Great Wall of Gorgan, which was a fortification built between the Caspian Sea and the Kopet Dag Mountains between 420 AD and 530s AD by the Sasanian Empire, on the northern edge of their empire. The fort may have served as a barracks for soldiers defending the wall or may have been used by civilians, but its neat layout suggest it had a military origin.
